Patent GB-190508530-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Treatment of Gas Purifying Materials for the Recovery of Useful Products, and Apparatus therefor.
Inventor: BECIGNEUL JOSEPH JULES MARIE
Filed: 1905-04-20
Granted: 1905-11-16
Abstract: 8530. BÚcigneul, J. J. M. July 23, 1904, [date applied for under Patents Act, 1901]. Purifier waste, revivifying.-Spent gas-purifying materials are treated in the apparatus shown for the separation of sulphur and cyanides, the sulphur being dissolved out by toluene. The solvent contained in the vessel A passes into the boiler B, where it is heated by steam or hot water. The hot solvent then enters an autoclave C, in which is a basket P containing the materials to be treated. The autoclave C has a removable cover a and a heating-jacket b, and the basket P has a false bottom c of filter cloths. The solution then enters the filter D, which also is provided with a jacket and contains a bed of animal charcoal supported on wire diaphragms e ; the tarry matters are taken up by the charcoal, and may be removed afterwards by distillation: The sulphur solution freed thus from tarry matters passes into the reservoir E and thence to the cooler F, which may be a closed vessel surrounded by water in a tank K, and containing coils f through which a cooling- liquid may be circulated. The sulphur is thus deposited and settles on the strainer g in the filter G, while the solvent is collected in the reservoir H. The filter G may be cooled during this process, and afterwards be heated to drive off the last portions of solvent, the vapours of which pass by the pipe k to the condenser N connected with the reservoir H. The last portions of solvent are also removed from the vessel C by first employing pressure or suction and then heating, the vapour passing off to the condenser M, which also is connected to the reservoir H. The recovered solvent is pumped back to the reservoir A. The materials after this treatment may be heated with lime in another autoclave to eliminate cyanides.

Patent GB-190513856-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the Electrical Steering of Ships.
Inventor: HAIGH BERNARD PARKER
Filed: 1905-07-05
Granted: 1906-07-05
Abstract: 13,856. Haigh, B. P. July 5. Motors, synchronizing. - In a marine steering- gear, the synchronous movement of the rudder and hand-wheel is obtained by means of two asynchronous motors having their primary windings excited from the same source of polyphase or single-phase current, and their secondary windings coupled together in their respective phases. The hand-wheel H is connected by gearing G to the rotor of the induction motor T, on the shaft of which is mounted a fly-wheel F, the rudder being actuated by a similar induction motor R. Overwinding is prevented by means of a stop S, which moves between the fixed supports P and indicates the position of the rudder. In power-driven steering-gear, the motors T, R may be used to obtain synchronous movement between the wheel and the engine valve or motor controller, or between the rudder mechanism and the controller. Where synchronous motion is transmitted from the rudder to the motor controller or engine valve, the latter is adapted to be moved by the relative motions of two spindles, one of which is coupled to the receiving-motor R and the other coupled to the hand-wheel either mechanically or by means of asynchronous motors as above. Where it is necessary to place the steering-engine in a part of the ship distant from the rudder, the steering-engine may take the place of the hand-wheel H, and the stop S be used to ccntrol the engine valve to prevent the engine from overrunning the maximum permissible travel. According to the Provisional Specification, the rudder motor may be controlled by means of a variable-ratio transformer in the secondary circuit of the motor, resistance being placed in the secondary circuit of the transformer. The variable-ratio transformer may consist of a single-phase induction regulator or of a phase transformer, the adjustment being effected by the relative displacement of the primary and secondary coils or by the displacement of a rotatable iron core in the transformer by any suitable mechanical device or by means of asynchronous motors as described above.

Granted: 1906-02-01
Abstract: 16,539. Doyle, T. Aug. 15. Coffer-dams; sunken ships, raising.-A conical pipe B is attached to the deck of a sunken vessel, and lengths of pipe A are united to it by tumbler bolts J. The number of lengths is such that the last one is well above the surface of the water. The water is then either pumped or blown out from this tube, and the occupants of the submerged vessel may be released by removing the man-hole cover G. Should the vessel be full of water, it may be emptied through the socket L, to which a pipe may be attached. The top of the culvert A is provided with a similar socket. To the interior of the culvert A are attached ladder rungs, and the side of the conical pipe B is provided with a non-return valve at O. A removable cover is fitted to the socket D when the pipe B is not in use. If the vessel has a list, curved or flexible tubes are used in place of the straight tubes A.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Relief Pictures or Pictorial Surfaces.
Inventor: MORIZ GEORG
Filed: 1905-10-12
Granted: 1906-08-02
Abstract: 20,672. Moriz, G. Oct. 12. Pictures.-Relates to the production of relief pictures applicable to menus, Christmas cards, post cards, &c. A ground is first produced by providing a piece of cardboard with a metallic surface by means of metal bronze, foil, or metal 'paper.' The surface thus produced is then impressed by means of a relief plate, the lines of which are of varying degrees of relief and at different angles to the surface of the plate and run in different directions. The relief effect may be increased by subjecting the design to one or more sprays of colour, applied at a very small angle to the surface and in different directions, thus colouring one side of the raised lines while leaving the other with its original metallic appearance. Paintings, colours, prints, or the like may be applied to parts of the design, or openings may be made therein to expose a suitable background.

Abstract: 22,142. Bostock, F. J. Oct. 31. Milling.-Bevel-wheels are cut by a taper hob with teeth cut from a thread of pitch and depth, increasing with the diameter of the hob in such manner as to keep the inclination constant. The axis of the hob is inclined at a corresponding angle to the wheel blank, and the hob is fed into the latter, the relative rotation of the hob and blank being such that when the hob has completed its longitudinal travel the wheel is completely cut. By using different parts of a long hob, wheels of different pitches may be cut.
